Warp veteran Clark announces new album Death Peak – listen to the first single

Warp mainstay Clarkis set to release a new album called Death Peak on April 7.

“I’ve had the title Death Peak since August 2016,” explains the producer in a press release. “It felt so right, I would repeat it to myself like a mantra. Death Peak Death Peak Death Peak. It starts gently, all meadows and butterflies and ends with you on top of this gnarly fearsome mountain peak, surveying a shattered landscape below.”

Nearly all of the tracks on the album contain vocals, including ‘Catastrophe Anthem’ which features a children’s choir chanting the mantra, “we are your ancestors”. Clark has called the human voice “the most perfect synth”.

Listen to Death Peak‘s first single, ‘Peak Magnetic’ – which Clark has described as “a boulder bouncing down a hill with birds tweeting around it” – below.
